Well, your question, Dennis, has led me to acquire some better data from the Sony site. Since I can search the Sony site by publisher I did that for each of them and have put the totals into a spreadsheet. Here is a text file containing all of the publishers that Sony lists followed by the number of titles by each that Sony has for sale. I have sorted these from highest (Taylor & Francis Publishing with 13,567 titles) to lowest (John Wiley & Sons with 1 title, for example). If you add up all of these titles and add the 958 Sony Classics (the public domain titles that Sony sells), you get a total of 46,585 ebooks for sale at Sony. That sounds about right to me since the 50,000 that you get by summing by all the listings in each category we know includes some multiple counts. So, yes, I think this just might be all the publishers that Sony sells ebooks for. I hope you'll take a look and make note of any major holes (particularly as they compare with Amazon).
